The workers here... we have no knowledge beyond guesswork of just how long it will take to work off our contracts. Do you think that you, yourselves, could ever grow accustomed to a place such as this?

You mean just getting used to it? It'd be easier if all that weird stuff didn't happen every month or so. Kinda makes it hard.

[calkyuulator]

I'd imagine so, yes. But don't you think that, given enough time, it would be possible?

[network_hostess]

Look who you're asking. [ A human woman. ] I don't think time will make it any easier, unless things stayed the same.

[calkyuulator]

I hardly think that it would take longer than the natural lifespan of a human. On the contrary, I find your kind the most adaptable of all.

--well, okay. I guess there's that, but we can also be pretty stubborn. If the situation was better, it'd be easier, but I'm still not a fan of what this place puts me and my friends through.

[calkyuulator]

I don't believe anyone ought to be. But hardship comes to all people. There are those for whom this is their lot in life in their own world.

[network_hostess]

"It's happened to people before" never made it any easier to swallow.

[calkyuulator]

Nor should it, for you. It's merely an interesting thought.

I guess. [ Tiny sigh. ] I'm no good at these hypothetical situations, anyhow. I learned that the worst thing I can do is think too far ahead. [ Those were heavy words, too, and she drew up her knees so she could rest her chin on them. ]
